Ingredients

• 4 medium Potatoes
• 1 cup Green peas
• 2 tablespoons Oil
• 1 teaspoon Cumin seeds
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 1 Green chili (finely chopped)
• 0.5 teaspoon Turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon Cumin powder
• 1 teaspoon Coriander powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Garam masala
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (chopped)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup Water
• 5 tablespoons Oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and boil the potatoes until tender. Mash them in a bowl and set aside.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan. Add cumin seeds and let them splutter.

Step 3

Add grated ginger and chopped green chili to the pan. Sauté for 1 minute.

Step 4

Stir in the turmeric powder, cumin powder, coriander powder, garam masala, and salt.

Step 5

Add the green peas to the pan and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 6

Mix in the mashed potatoes, chopped cilantro, and lemon juice. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat. Let the mixture cool slightly.

Step 7

Shape the potato mixture into small patty shapes, about 2-3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick.

Step 8

In a small bowl, mix the all-purpose flour with water to create a thin batter. Place breadcrumbs in a shallow dish.

Step 9

Dip each potato patty into the flour batter, then coat it with breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.

Step 10

Heat 5 tablespoons of oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties in batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 11

Transfer the fried Samosa Cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Step 12

Serve warm with chutney or yogurt-based sauces for dipping!
